General Chemistry Lab Advice

Showing 1 to 3 of 3

Dr. Wang is very patient and knows how to explain the material in very simple and easy to grasp ways so that each student can succeed in the course. He makes sure to keep himself available for students that need that extra help outside of class.

Course highlights:

The experiments and the few times we got to leave class early. I learned how to get precipitate from copper sulfate pentahydrate, how to dilute and titrate solutions and many other things.

Hours per week:

3-5 hours

| Would highly recommend.

Pretty easy, overall.

Course Overview:

G. Chem. II Lab is better than G. Chem. I Lab because it is more hands on and more interactive regarding Chemistry elements.

Course highlights:

My favorite part of the course is the Group cation identifications. You get to mix different solutions to cations to determine if they are present or absent. I learned how to make efficient rationales, even though they can be time-consuming they are beneficial.

Hours per week:

0-2 hours

Advice for students:

If you're any science major, you must take this course. The final for this course is something from each section and if you do the homework you will be just fine. The pre-lab quizzes are from the homework and there are also some readings and discussion questions before lab that is due. This is different from the lab homework.

I would recommend this course because it allows students to have a hands on experience in lab. The teacher only facilitates the class. We have to learn the language of the course and be extremely attentive and precise.

Course highlights:

The experiments are really fun to do, even though they take a long time. Lab is almost 3 hours, so there is plenty of time to get everything done. Just make sure you follow instructions EXACTLY the way they say or you get counted off your grade. And make sure you do all the homework.

Hours per week:

6-8 hours

Advice for students:

Go through the lesson before class. You cannot work with other people at all because everyone needs to understand things for themselves. Take you time on the homesork and double check. Remember that it's okay to stay to yourself in class. You will work in groups most of the time, but you can be on the quiet side.
